send email

[Rey Sciman]

Hi!
My first try with renpy is nearly finished.

It s a job application.

Now, I want to have a contact form in it - the user should be able to send me an email via renpy.
can be very very simple

just two fields

one for the email address (of the guy/women who wants to contact me)

• and a text field

this is my second day with renpy

I cannot really code good enough of course.

but I might be able to change code a little bit.

Has anyone of you code such contact form?

I have only found this so far

The Cookbook is not the place to ask questions. You want the Ren'Py Questions and Announcements forum.

Anyway, maybe something like this?

Code: Select all

init python:
    def send_email():
        import webbrowser
        webbrowser.open_new("mailto:email@example.com")

Then just call send_email() as a python function when you want to use it.

Sorry for posting in the cookbook section.

I will try it.
thanks.

greets,

no, you gotta do it this way

Code: Select all

init python:
    def send_email():
        import webbrowser
        webbrowser.open_new("mailto:example@email.com")
label email:
$ send_email()

i.e. insert a label.

than you can

call email

but this code "just" opens outlook.

I want the user to prompt the text for the email so to say - directly in ren py

I know how to make the user type in his name
and then to use this variable anywhere later.

But here:
no outlook should be opend

what the user types into the "text field" should be send directly.

Tomorrow I will think about a solution.

But if there is anyone here faster than me, would be happy...
